2.2 Load Batteries on the Front Camera
•
•
Push or dig two battery boxes and release the battery door.
•
Install 4 AA batteries in front of camera and 8 AA batteries in back of camera. Make sure the polarity matches the sign on the cover.
•
Push to close the door.
Alternatively the camera can run on an external 6V~12V DC power source (optional). When both external power and batteries are connected, the camera will be powered by the external one preferentially. Hooked up with Ltl-SUN Solar Power Panel (purchased separately), the camera can work in the field over one year without changing batteries.
When battery level gets low, the Motion Indicator in the LED array will flash blue. The MMS
Wireless camera will automatically send a “Battery Low” text alert to the user’s cell phone or email account. Meanwhile, the battery level will be shown as Code B1/B2/B3 on the received
MMS pictures. B3 stands for high level and B1 indicates the level is low and you need to change the batteries soon.
2.3 Insert SD Card and Format It
The camera does not come with internal memory. It will not work without a SD (Secure Digital) memory card or SDHC (High Capacity) card. Before inserting the SD card into the card slot, please make sure the write-protect switch on the side of the SD card is “off” (NOT in the “Lock” position). The supported memory capacity is up to 32GB. If you use a card capable of above
32GB, make sure you test it before putting the camera in use.
Always format the SD card on the CAMERA

2.5
Set up MMS Function on PC
On the main menu, press MMS Setup.
First, you need to choose how you like to set up the MMS Mode
--Auto or Manual. Choose Auto (recommended), then the country
- 10 -
setup, the URL, APN, Gateway, and Port sections will be grayed. You only need to input the phone number and/or email address you’d like the MMS pictures to be sent to. You can enter up to three different phone numbers and/or email accounts.
If you choose Manual to manually input all the parameters, you need to contact your Mobile
Phone Network Operator (MPNO) to have them provide you all the required information such as
URL, APN, Gateway, and Port.
Note: The MMS parameters of the major MPNO’s in each country have been pre-stored in the setup program. You’re recommended to choose Auto to let the system to set up the MMS.
However, because each local MPNO has their own settings for their MMS service, and those settings can change over time, you may need to acquire the settings from your MPNO if the
Auto-selected settings fail to work. If you find out those settings have changed according to the information provided by your MPNO, or you have settings from your MPNO that is not on our
Operators list, please notify us so we can update our program.
Click on to find and choose the drive where the SD card is placed, usually a letter after E:\. For example, the SD card is inserted on Drive F:\. Then you select only F:\. DO NOT
choose any folder under F:\.
Click on . A message window pops out as below. Click OK. A file named setup.dat has been created and saved in the root directory of the SD card.
Click on and back to main menu. Retrieve the SD card and insert it in the camera. Don’t attach the MMS-module battery box at this point. Switch to the TEST position to enter the TEST mode. Two lines in red show up consecutively on the TFT display, indicating the setup files have been successfully installed on the camera. If you don’t see the two lines, the
menu.dat and setup.dat are not installed successfully. You need to start over from Step 2.1, exam each step and strictly follow the instruction.
2.6
View Local MNPO name and Signal Strength on TFT Display
You can find your local Mobile Phone Network Operator’s name and the signal strength on the
TFT display on the camera, just like you can see the reception on a regular cell phone.
Install the SIM card and 8 AA batteries. Attach the MMS-module battery box to the camera and
- 11 -
secure the buckle. Switch to the TEST position. If you like, you can connect the camera to a TV, using provided TV AV IN cable. Wait for up to 40 seconds or until you hear of a short beep, and
have an access to a TV, wait for 40 seconds or until you hear of a short beep, and detach the battery box. Then you can see the information on the TFT display. Note: During the process, slightly move the camera to make sure the LED light in the front keeps flashing. If you wait too long (over one minute) before you detach the backpack battery box, the display may power off and shut down. You need to switch OFF and then TEST to start over.
There are up to five bars indicating the signal strength. To make the MMS module to work, at least two bars are required. If you only see one bar, the reception is too weak for the MMS to function.
Some U.S. AT&T customers will see a six-digit number (310410), instead of the operator’s symbol, next to the signal bars. It is NORMAL. If a code, other than the MPNO symbol, shows on the screen, it indicates something is wrong, missing, or going on. Specifically,
•
SIM: No SIM card or installed incorrectly.
•
CSQ: No signals.
•
CREG: SIM card is password-protected, or deactivated due to zero balance in the account, or not able to register with the GSM system.
•
CGREG: Not able to register with GPRS network.
•
COPS: Searching for the MNPO of the SIM card. Once found, the operator’s symbol and the signal strength will show on the display.
If No MM1 shows on the screen, it means the MMS-module is not found (installed). If your camera is a standard Model Ltl-6210MC, then it is OK because your camera is not equipped with
MMS-module battery box. If it is a MMS Model Ltl-6210MM, you can take out from the battery box one of the batteries and replace it. Then attach the battery box and re-check the MNPO signal by following the aforementioned steps.

2.7
Camera Working with MMS
After being correctly set up, not only will your camera work as a standard trail camera, but also send pictures to your cell phone and/or email account, when it meets the following requirements.
•
The camera is ON and functions. The SD card has enough space. 8 AA batteries with enough power capacity. The camera is in Cam mode or Cam+Video mode, not Video mode.
•
SIM card is installed. The MMS service is activated (some MMS services need pre-paid balance in the account.) The SIM card is not password-protected.
•
The signal is strong in the field. The recipient’s phone number and/or email account is entered correctly. You are suggested to take the receiving phone with you and do the send-and-receive test on site.
•
The Timer function is OFF. If you have the Timer ON, make sure you are in the specified time period when expecting incoming MMS pictures.
•
•
Make sure MMS Status is not set OFF.
The setting is “0”, or the daily limit has not been reached. If the daily limit has been reached, you can reset that number on your computer or on the TFT display. Then the daily limit starts to count from No. One.
•
The camera is stationary while sending MMS pictures.
2.8 Enter Test Mode
Under the test mode, one useful function you would like is testing the work area of the PIR
(Passive Infrared) sensor, specifically the sensing angle and distance. To perform the test:
•
First strap the camera on a tree aiming the region of interest (ROI).
•
Walk slowly from one side of the ROI to the other parallel to the camera. Try different distances and angles from the camera.
•
If the Motion Indicator flashes blue, it indicates the position from where you are detected by one of the side Prep PIR sensors. If the Motion Indicator flashes red, it indicates the position from where you are captured by the main PIR sensor.
- 13 -
By doing this test, you can find the best placement when mounting and aiming the Ltl Acorn camera. In general, you are recommended to place the camera 3 to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters) above the ground.
To avoid potential false triggers due to temperature and motion disturbances, please do not aim the camera at a heat source (i.e. the sun) or nearby tree branches and twigs. The ideal direction to aim at is the north. Also, remove any twigs close to the front of the camera.
2.9 Enter Live Mode
Switch to the ON position to enter the live mode. The Motion Indicator will flash red for about
10 seconds and the camera starts working by itself without any manual handling. It will at once shoot pictures or record videos when game or other objects enter the PIR area of the main sensor directly. If the game enters the PIR area of the prep sensors from the side, the prep sensors detect the movement and activate the camera. While the game keeps moving into the PIR area of the main sensor, the camera takes photos/videos immediately. If the game roams away after entering the PIR area of the prep sensors, the camera will power off and enter standby mode.
2.10 Advantages of Prep Sensors
In general, to save battery power, an Infer-Red camera is in “sleep” mode, with only the PIR sensor working. When game is detected by the PIR sensor, the camera is powered on and starts shooting pictures. The time period from being activated to starting firing is called trigger time.
The trigger time varies among different scouting camera brands in the market, generally from 1 to 5 plus seconds. Our Ltl Acorn scouting camera has an impressive 1.2 second trigger time.
However, when game passes across very quickly, the picture may only capture the rear part of the body, and possibly nothing at all.
With the unique side prep PIR sensors design, our Ltl Acorn solves this issue. The combination of the two side prep sensors and the main sensor comes up with a 100 to 120° angle of induction, a very wide scope far outweighing the 50 ° angle of the camera lens. When game first crosses the
PIR area of the prep sensor, the camera is activated and ready to shoot after 1 second. If the game continually enters into the PIR area of the main sensor, the camera takes pictures immediately, therefore catching the whole body of the game. This split-second process could be as short as 0.2 second.
In the case the game browses only in the PIR area of the prep sensors, to avoid the camera being powered on constantly, the system is designed to work in the following way: If the game does not enter the PIR area of the main sensor and therefore not trigger the main sensor, the camera will power off after 3 seconds. If the trigger events consecutively happened twice only in the PIR area of the prep sensors, the camera will not be activated by the side prep sensors, but only by the main sensor. So later on when the game enters the PIR area of the main sensor eventually, since it is not in fast movement, the picture will by all means capture the whole body of the game based on our standard 1.2 second response time.

5.1 Power Supply
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Ltl-6210M Series camera can work on up to 12 voltages. The 4 AA batteries in the front of camera, the 8 AA batteries in the back of camera, and the external power supply form a four-path parallel circuit. Each path is isolated from others and does not charge nor discharge others. As a result, the camera can extend its life in the field by being powered by an external solar panel Ltl-SUN.
5.2 SD Card
There are plenty of different brand SD cards on the market. We tested on our camera as many brands as we can. However, we cannot guarantee every brand SD card will work compatibly with our camera. Please format the SD card on the camera before use. If it doesn’t work, please try another brand SD card.
5.3 Auto Adjustment on Video Length
To extend the battery life, you are strongly suggested to use 12 AA alkaline batteries when having the camera running in Video mode or Cam+Video mode. Compared to products of its kind on the market, our camera takes thirty percent more full-length video clips. Besides that, when battery power gets low, our camera automatically shortens the video length so as to take more clips of more events. As a result, the total number of video clips doubles, even triples that of products of its kind, which provides users with more useful records.
Note: Our camera performs at extreme cold environment as low as -30°C (-22°F), in which the battery power capacity deteriorates drastically. Therefore, the number of video clips decreases accordingly.
5.4 850nm and 940nm IR LED
There are two selects of IR LED on the Ltl-6210M series camera, 850nm and 940nm. The former provides up to 82-foot flash range whereas the latter up to 42-foot flash range. The benefit of 940nm IR LED, however, is it emits no-glow flash that is invisible in the dark.
5.5 Mount on Tripod
The camera can be mounted on a 1/4" tripod. CAUTION: To avoid breakage, always turn
the knob in position to secure the bottom cover.

5.6 FAQs on MMS Function
I set up a new receiving phone number. But the MMS pictures are still being sent
to the old number. What should I do?
Switch the camera OFF. Wait for at least two minutes. Then switch it ON.
Or, switch the camera OFF, take all battery out of the camera, and then reinstall it.
Why did it take so long to receive the MMS pictures / why didn’t I receive any
MMS pictures?
The signal was too weak. Try different spots. Or the batteries ran out.
I programmed the camera to constantly take pictures. But some pictures were not
sent to my phone. How?
The Ltl-6210M series camera is designed to constantly send MMS pictures to the recipient’s phone. However, if the signal is too weak, it may not work stably.
Why did I receive some pictures with partial image, and some with red “X”?
The camera was in motion when sending pictures. Or the signal was unstable.
I was pretty sure the battery was quite low. But I didn’t get any text alert. Why?
The camera “assumes” you install new batteries when you start the camera. It tracks the usage of the batteries and texts you when the power is low. However, if you replace the present batteries with some “used” ones in a point before receiving a text alert, the camera will get “confused” and not send a text alert later on.
My cell phone shows strong signal. Why does the display on the camera not show
